@MarkMaddenX Yes, it is meaningful! Any chance our beloved Pirates can flirt with winning again, is absolutely meaningful!

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@JMackey_PGH Most teams aren’t going to trade with sbyonw right now. Why would they? They’d lose all of their leverage. They’ll wait until fhe trade deadline to maximize their return. The Pirates are basically stuck with what they have until they get very close to that deadline.

@DKPghSports I give the guy credit for being honest about how he has pitched. But I also don’t like the attitude. He seems like a jerk to be honest.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@937theFan This guy comes across as an arrogant loudmouth bully. He has to be the most disliked personality in that clubhouse. And the funny thing is that he’s done nothing to even have such an attitude like this.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@AdamBSteelers @DanZangrilli I can live with that. However, one cannot deny the fact his velocity has dropped. And to me there’s a correlation there for his recent struggles and high pitch count in innings. Hopefully he gets back on track soon.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@KDPomp The drop in velocity is equally concerning. When he was at 99 or above, he was virtually unhittable. Now, his fastball is very hittable, and because of it his pitch count per inning is going way up.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@RichieWalsh @BrianBatko Forget about the bullpen, I’m now more worried about Skenes.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@EliWoodard_ Cannot wait to see your star shine at Miami! You’ll love every second of playing there.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@MarkMaddenX Talk about falling off a cliff. This is seriously shocking to me. What’s crazy is that the WBC was a warning sign of things to come, and at that time I just shrugged it off. But something is very wrong here!

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@AhmmonR2 @CanesInSight Nobody even knows who this guy is. He did nothing in college and just yaps so much in envy. He knows Miami is back and will be the new bullies on the block.

@AlexDonno You mean all of the UFO crafts seen in the sky that are now well documented by our own government doesn’t constitute visitation?? I’m confused. To me that’s visitation!

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@JoeStarkey1 Joe, the flaws on this team are probably too great for us to be excited about playoff baseball. With that said, this team has given us real hope for better days, and in the end I personally think that’s what we should all appreciate about this season.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@northsiden0tch Well, it’s June and the Pirates we all know well have arrived. This is that moment again where we ask ourselves why does Ben Cherington still have a job. This pitching staff as a whole had collapsed.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@psberrier @GSOHoppers Thanks, Patrick! I really appreciate you sharing that information.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@OfTheAllegheny The dip in velocity is the biggest concern right now for me.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@JMackey_PGH Doesn’t it have that look of the wheels falling off? If this season ends up as another losing season, BC absolutely needs to be fired.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@colin_dunlap The Pirates were supposed to be this great franchise at developing pitching talent. The problem right now is that they have already exhausted what current supply they have from the upper minors. And the starting staff has also struggled under a new coach. Hmm.

[James Bailey @jbailey69]

@MarkWRupert @JMackey_PGH Yep. Mark is dead on here! The bullpen is obviously an abomination, but also look at the struggles of our starting pitching staff right now. Even Skenes is having a rough stretch. As good as the offense has been this year, our overall success is predicated on this starting staff
